The Last Jedi - 3.75" Basic

Was just surfing Amazon and as of this post, they are taking preorders for The Black Series 6-Inch Jaina Solo. This is sold and shipped by Amazon with a price of $19.99 each with a limit of 2 per account. The expected arrival date is January 16th. Get them while you can, I am sure they wont last long!

If you dont see Amazon's listing, be sure to look at the "Used & new from" option on the product page as thats where I found it listed as backorderd from Amazon.

Stopped by my local Texas Target this morning and found the remnants of The Black Series 6-Inch Wave 14 on the pegs. While I was on vacation readers also sent in reports of finding this wave at their East and West Coast Target Stores as well.

I received some emails from our readers asking if I knew anything about a Light and Dark Cloak variant on The Black Series 6-Inch 46: Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) figure. I was aware that the Luke that was packed in the Convention Exclusive Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) & Rey (Jedi Training) 2-Pack had a Lighter Cloak then the single boxed figures, but I didn't think any the Lighter Cloaks carried over to the single boxes, but just to make sure I grabbed my early samples that were sent to me a while back and sure enough the Lighter Cloak did make it to the single boxes.

The Lighter Cloaks seem to be packed in 46: Boxes with Date Stamps earlier then 71671. Anyways took a boxed comparison photo (above), The Lighter Cloak is on the left and the Darker on the Right. If you want a larger view of the picture, open the pop-up image in a new window. When I finish photographing this figure, I will includes a loose side-by-side photo of the Cloaks on the figure's page, which will make the variants easier to see.

The Black Series 6-Inch 56: Jaina Solo (Legends) figure has been added to our HD Photo Gallery tonight. Great looking sculpt by Hasbro with lots of articulation. She includes a Lightsaber Hilt, Removable Blade, Blaster, Removable Helmet, and Removable Chest Box. This figure will be extremely popular with Collectors and Scalpers (unfortunately) alike and maybe hard to find unless you preorder it from a online retailer or buy the entire Wave 14 case. These have not hit local brick and mortar stores in large numbers yet, so you may have a chance to find one that way as well.

Hasbro's PR has sent us info and some pictures for the Mighty Muggs Wave 2 today.

Hasbro:"Wave 2 that is NOW AVAILABLE for online pre-order at most major retailers. Each Mighty Mugg has three unique facial expressions and includes a push-and-turn mechanism that lets fans change the figure’s expression by pushing down on the head. Below is a list of the newly revealed Star Wars characters that will hit shelves in February."

STAR WARS MIGHTY MUGGS Wave 2 Figure Assortment:(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $9.99/Available: February 2018) Iconic STAR WARS characters are spinning heads around the galaxy with the STAR WARS MIGHTY MUGGS Figures. Whether it be REY with a face of determination preparing for battle or KYLO REN with an evil grin as he imagines taking over the galaxy, these hyper-stylized figures feature a push-and-turn mechanism that lets fans change the figure’s facial expression by pushing down on the head. With 3 different expressions and classic character designs, these figures will have fans doing a triple take. Characters include FINN, POE DAMERON, YODA and more. Each sold separately. Available at most major retailers and on HasbroToyShop.com.

Just got back from vacation and stopped by my local Texas Walmart and noticed that they have clearanced out all the Forces of Destiny Dolls. Prices were $9.00 for the basic and $19.00 for the deluxe. So if you had any interest in these now maybe the time to pick them up at a discount.

I still have yet to see any of the newer Forces of Destiny Dolls hit retail i.e. Chewbacca and Leia Platinum Edition.

Back on December 28th we made a post that Walmart.com had their Exclusive Black Series 3.75-Inch Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader in stock which has since sold out. Well it looks like Walmart oversold or possibly never had the product to fill orders and have begun to send out cancelation emails tonight. Did your order get cancelled or filled? Post in the comments.

Walmart.com:

"Hello John,

Thanks for your recent order. We're really sorry, but the items shown below are out of stock. Since we don't know when we'll get them in again, we've canceled the items from your order and won't charge you for them.

After reviewing the details below, visit our Help Center if you have any questions. Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is unmonitored.

My local Walmart store had a clearance End Cap of The Black Series 6-Inch Speeder Sets this morning. The Toy Manager said that these were just found in their back stock room due to it getting emptied out from the Holiday Shopping Season. My local stores only stocked these maybe twice when they were first released last Fall and then they disappeared and I never seen them again at retail.

Anyways for the variant hunters out there, I noticed that the box numbers have changed on these. Not sure what Hasbro changed yet on the boxes (could just be a simple text typo or change) but will take some photos and find out next week after the Holiday. If you know what was changed feel free to post it in the comments.

Was just surfing Walmart.com and noticed that they have their Exclusive Black Series 3.75-Inch Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader in stock as of this post. Price is $11.92 and is shipped and sold by Walmart.com. I know a lot of people were looking for this figure, so get them while you can.

Added to our HD Photo Gallery is The Black Series 6-Inch 49: Maz Kanata figure who appeared in The Force Awakens. Great looking sculpt with lots of articulation. She includes a Lightsaber Hilt, Blaster Rifle, and Chest. Be sure to check out the new Photos!

Was just flipping through Netflix and found a new Original Series called "The Toys That Made Us". If you have a interest (and a Netflix Account) in how popular toys were conceived, designed, and etc you will definitely enjoy this show.

The first Episode is none other then Star Wars "A small toy company in Cincinnati takes on its biggest licensing project ever, giving birth to the most profitable toy franchise in history."

Other Episodes include Barbie, He-Man, and G.I. Joe. Each episode is about 45 to 52 minutes.

Received a case of The Black Series 6" Snoke Wave a few days ago which includes a repack of the 46: Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) figure and I noticed that Hasbro has changed the flesh tone on his face and left hand from a whiter flesh color to a pinkish color. I took a side-by-side comparison photo of both versions. My studio lights are a bit bright, but you should be able to see the difference in the pop-up above or open the full size image in a new window. It is really easy to see the difference in hand though.

The Black Series 6-Inch 54: Supreme Leader Snoke has been added to our HD Photo Gallery this evening. Snoke actually looks great until you open up his robe and reveal whats underneath it, which looks like pajamas. His robe is not removable (glued to shoulders), but his belt is. Be sure to check out the new HD Photos!
